Selections from Bryce Canyon National Park
My first visit to Bryce Canyon was made a year ago, 2011, in early September. It was an overview look at Bryce and Zion National Parks with my wife, Terry. Limited time - a few short trail walks in a 4 day vacation. At Bryce we remained at the Rim Trail level, looking out and down into the convolutions and colors, a hiker or horseback rider might be detected in the formations below, inching along it appeared. The brief time there fostered a desire to return for a better look, to be one of those day hikers below the Rim Trail spectators. Jim Staub - September, 2012
These are lovely, Jimmy. This scenery is really pretty unique in the world, I'm thinking. I agree it would be a great next step to go back and be a hiker through this.
ReplyDeleteI remember going down into the grand canyon a short distance one time and marveling at the changing perspective of being 'in' it rather than 'on top'. And the close up views of the micro scenes, and the rapidly changing plant types. At Zion we viewed everything from the other way round, bottom up. I've never been to Bryce.
Keep 'em comin', Jeem!
And now, on a somewhat smaller and far less poetic scale, I'm remembering those little kits one used to get from the backs of comic books where you'd drop wet blobs of multi-coloured sand into little columns and it would all harden into a small work of art with a slightly geological bent? :)
